A perfectly average boy uncovers a supernatural secret about his family that could put his whole town in grave danger—if it doesn’t make him die of embarrassment first—in this mysterious and funny middle grade debut from New York Times bestselling author Z Brewer.

Viktor Valentine can’t think of a better way to end his summer vacation than playing All the Vampires Everywhere, his favorite video game, with his best friend, Damon. Yet his parents, who make cringey jokes and call him dorky nicknames, seem set on ruining his plans. Viktor knows he can’t really compete with Damon’s “cool” friends—so their epic video game playing is the best Viktor can do to come close to being cool in Damon’s eyes.

But then Viktor slowly starts to realize that his parents may be hiding something from him. They’re acting very suspicious; they sneak out after midnight and return with bloody mouths. But he’s probably just played too many video games. After all, vampires aren’t real . . . right?

Seventh grade is tough enough without having to figure out if your family has fangs. And to make matters worse, the new girl that moved in across the street seems particularly interested in things that go bump in the night. Can Viktor protect his family, or will his sleuthing come back to bite him?

This was a fascinating, fun, FANGtastic read that's just waiting for you to take a bite out of it!

Viktor is great little leading man that's stepped into the middle of an unexpected mystery with secrets coming at him left and right. You're tantalized along the way by little hints dropped here and there, but you're never quite sure whether to take them at face value, or if you're being misled. The new librarian at school that he's volun-told to help get better acquainted with everyone and everything. The mysterious substitute teacher at the beginning of the school year that seems way more cool than a sub should be. The new neighbors across the street with a young girl his age that actually wants to talk to him and isn't drooling over his bestie. The bloody shirt soaking in the sink, his dad's profusely bleeding lip, his.... shall I go on? 😳 Yes, for a town called Nowhere there's an awfully lot of something going on... and that's not even taking into account the big showdown heading their way, the invited but not welcome visitor, and the eventual revelations that are coming whether everyone wants them or not.  At least by book's end, Viktor has tackled one thing that's eternally hard for boys of any age...how to talk to a girl! 

It's newly released status means it'll be easier to find, but if your local bookstore or library is out of stock, KEEP LOOKING! It's definitely one you don't want to miss. Highly recommended for Middle Grade Fiction fans that love some BITE in their reading. Can't wait to see if we get to travel to Nowhere again in the future, but I'll keep my bags packed just in case.
